According to Clinton, trafficking can produce "destructive effects" on "all of us," because it "weakens legitimate economies, breaks up families, fuels violence, threatens public health and safety, and shreds the social fabric that is necessary for progress." She writes that the problem is "particularly urgent now, as local economies around the world reel from the global financial crisis."

The Indian Health Service on Wednesday announced it will release $500 million in federal economic stimulus funding to improve health care for American Indian and Alaska Native communities, Health Data Management reports. The funding includes $85 million for health information technology that aims to decrease errors and modernize administrative processes, enhance hardware and network infrastructure, integrate software and support telehealth services, according to Health Data Management. In addition, the stimulus funding will go toward building new hospitals, purchasing medical equipment, and health facility maintenance and improvement projects (Goedert, Health Data Management, 5/20).
